HIMA HIMax X-FAN 15 03 993001513

HIMA HIMax X-FAN 15 03 (Part Number: 993001513) is a specialized system fan module designed for the HIMax programmable electronic system.

This “03” variant is specifically engineered for noise-sensitive environments and standard temperature conditions, providing reliable heat dissipation to prevent system overheating while maintaining a low acoustic profile.

Technical Parameter Table

Low Noise Emission: At only 42 dB(A), this module is ideal for manned control rooms where high-decibel cooling systems would be disruptive.

Redundant Powering: Supports dual power feeds (L1+/L2+). If one supply unit fails, the fans continue to operate, ensuring uninterrupted cooling.

Intelligent Monitoring: Features a signaling contact and front-facing LEDs to monitor both voltage and rotation speed. If a fan stalls or voltage drops, the fault relay is triggered.

Hot-Swappable: Designed for high availability; the fan unit can be easily replaced during plant operation without shutting down the HIMax controller.

Optimized Airflow: Even if one individual fan in the 3-fan set fails, the remaining fans are designed to provide sufficient circulation to prevent immediate overheating.

Application Cases

Manned Control Centers: Used in power plants or refineries where engineers work in close proximity to the safety cabinets.

Standard Temperature Environments: Ideal for indoor climate-controlled switch rooms where ambient temperatures remain below 40°C.

High-Density HIMax Racks: Essential for racks populated with high-power-dissipation modules (like X-CPU 01 or high-density I/O) to ensure vertical heat exhaustion.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation

Placement: Must be installed directly above the base plate (X-BASE PLATE 15 01).

Clearance: For the X-FAN 15 03 (low air volume model), a vertical spacing of 2 RU (88.9 mm) must be maintained above the unit to ensure proper air exhaust.

Wiring: Use a 0.4 x 2.5mm flathead screwdriver for terminals. If using a single power supply, a jumper wire must be connected between terminals 3 and 5 to avoid false monitoring alarms.

Maintenance

Replacement Cycle: Replace every 6 years in normal temperatures ($<40$°C) or every 3 years in high-temperature environments ($>40$°C).

Cleaning: Periodically check the swivel cover plate for dust accumulation to ensure unimpeded airflow.

Diagnostics: Green “RUN” LED indicates healthy power; Red “ERROR” LED indicates low speed or voltage faults.

Other Models in the same Series

X-FAN 15 01: High air volume version (60 dB / 275 m³/h) for unmanned or high-heat areas.

X-FAN 10 03: 2-fan variant for the X-BASE PLATE 10 01.

X-FAN 18 03: 4-fan variant for the X-BASE PLATE 18 01.

X-FAN 15 02/04: Variants designed for 19-inch rack frames rather than backplane mounting.

Unique Product Description

The HIMA X-FAN 15 03 is the “Quiet Guardian” of the HIMax system.

While industrial fans are often an afterthought, HIMA treats cooling as a monitored safety component.

By integrating the cooling status directly into the system’s diagnostic layer via the fault relay, the X-FAN 15 03 ensures that a simple mechanical failure doesn’t escalate into a costly system-wide thermal shutdown.
